I designed this slouchy hat to be a perfect fit for two different sizes: child and adult. The use of puff and basic stitches make it a great project for a beginner crocheter to practice their skills.

Crochet Project Materials Needed

Crochet hook size: G-6 4 mm
Yarn: Worsted weight yarn #4. I used Lion Brand Yarns Feels Like Butta in Ice and White. My adult size hat weighs 4.2 oz/119 grams.
Tapestry needle: you will use this to weave in your ends.
Stitch markers: I always use these when I design my hats. They help me track when to make increases.
Scissors: You will need scissors to fasten off your yarn.
Tape Measure: You will use this to measure head size.
Large pom pom maker: For making a pom pom for your hat.
